Great Locations to Wear Esri T-Shirts: South Africa, Italy, and Colorado

Thomas K. (Tom) Poiker, Ph.D., director, UniGIS-SFU, Geography, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, was recently in Pretoria, South Africa, where he noticed the Jacaranda trees were blooming. Being inherently sensitive to life's subtleties, he realized that the name of the tree bore a resemblance to that of Esri's President Jack Dangermond. Tom then borrowed an Esri T-shirt to commemorate this crossing of the skeins of fate and, naturally, sent the resulting picture to ArcNews. Good work Tom!

Kathy Jo Kvitek, GIS routing administrator, Western Disposal Services, Boulder, Colorado, wore her T-shirt while riding her horse, Tahoe, in the Flattops Wilderness area in Colorado's White River National Forest. Here, she is standing about 30 miles north of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, at an elevation of 10,000 feet.

Shoreh Elhami, GIS director, Delaware County Auditor's Office, Delaware, Ohio, traveled in Italy and Greece in the summer of 2000, not failing to remember to wear and take a picture with her Esri T-shirt. Fortunately for her, the great columns of Rome's Coliseum were right behind her when the picture was snapped!
